Our group decided to focus on the thin line between therapist and tutor, which was a don't in the Tutoring Writing book. This was a fun topic to do and the video, in my opinion was funny and entertaining. All though we had some issues during the set of our placement, our setting looked really good and it looked legit, believe it or not it was in a hallway, literally. The setting and the props we brought made it look so realistic I was actually impressed with the outline. I think we managed to get the message across, that a tutor should not get trapped in a tutee's personal life nor should a tutor try to be the tutee's friend at any time during the session. There are some scenarios where the tutee wants the tutor to do the paper for them and we wanted our students to understand that, that is not what a tutor is for. A tutor is to help the tutee better their paper and writing and not to give them the answer. I think our audience will understand our message and see the hard work we put into making this video as outstanding as possible despite the noises from the elevators, the guy packing out chips, the fire alarms and the annoying lady who was being rude and annoying after we told her that it was a class project. Anyways even with all those issues in our way, I think we made an awesome video and we managed to get our message across. I think this project was effective because I was able to act in a scene where I lost the focus of the main issue which was the paper, I better understand how a tutor can control an issue that got off track.
